    If you go out in Bacong between about 11 and 3 the business streets, well business street, at this time of year is empty because of heat most of the time.

    I have nothing bad to say about Iloilo, when I was there it certainly seemed as if they deserved the title of "City of Gentle People" more so than Dumaguete. If I were to move out of Dumaguete that would be a prime candidate. Right up there with Naga City (Camarines Sur). I have never been to Baguio but from what I have heard it is a place I am definitely interested in checking out.

    I have heard good things about Baguio also, and I believe that City was planned by a USA architect, resulting in a good City design, can someone confirm or otherwise?

    It seems to be well known, I am told, that the Ilonggo folks have a lot of pride in themselves and their part of the world, and don't harass foreigners like some other Cities, eg: "give me money", etc.,:cool:

    Many of those cities I mentioned have their own appeal. Clean living generally isn't one of them though. Dumaguete is good because you can drive for 10 minutes and be away from all of that nonsense. Dumaguete isn't the best at many things, but it is very well rounded for the Philippines (which is likely why you have so many expats living there).

    It was established and initially designed by the US military (I imagine as they left and the city grew the "local way" of city planning took over). I think the major appeal is the nature, clean living (compared to other cities in the Philippines....I would still bet that NYC is a cleaner place) and cooler temperatures. Being a seasonal city I have a feeling that during the Philippines dry season it can become quite crowded and miserable. But that is only a guess.

    Doesn't make sense as it does not take much to review plans/specs and sign off. If the person signed off on the drawings and they were not up to code then I could see revoking their "professional" status/license. I think this is more geared towards the industrial/commercial side compared to residential where most folks need nothing to build, required or not and there are no inspections.

    This is a country where you can see a worker sporting a hardhat as well as shorts and flip flops...on a building that has safety signs and stating it will be a commercial building.
